    Default Burton-Harris Bolt Activating Device--additional pix

I tried testing this apparatus by cocking the bolt motor, as suggested, and it cocked but nothing (subsequently) happened -- even after 30 minutes. I reset it by manually performing the action of the snubber bar and it clanked loudly but, of course, couldn't retract the bolts since they had never been extended. Help! PS. Excuse the partially blurred, turned pix. The glass in the timelock door is broken and I have a baggie taped over the opening to block dust.
    These pix are a bit clearer. Notice on the B-H device are to levers. The one on the right interacts with the snubber bar. The left one is a mystery. It has two positions and neither seems to do anything.
